Large carved wooden countertop cigar store figure depicting a Native American warrior standing with one arm raised to his brow and holding cigars. Executed fully in the round, the sculpture is finely carved on all sides and retains decorative coloration and surface treatment in shades of amber, red, black, and brown that accentuate the costume and carved details. The figure is shown wearing a decorated loincloth, leggings, armband, and elaborate feathered headdress, with detailed carving extending across the reverse, including the featherwork, costume elements, and trailing garment. Mounted on an integral circular base. Likely produced during the second half of the 20th century.
Dimensions: Approximately 40 in. high.
